hello sir...
i've recently downloaded java programming software....when i tried to execute my frist program demo.java(my class name is demo)..its displaying a msg 'javac is not recognized as an internal or external commad'...i tried in many ways to set the path but i couldn't...
i've tried java -version in command prompt,it displayed "1.6.0_18" but
after installation it got placed in C:\program files\java\jre6.....,and 1.6.0_18 is no where shown,n even javac.exe is also not existing in bin...i tried many suggestions to set the path,class path,java_home bt they were of no use...

Can you show us what your PATH looks like? And what OS are you on?

@Dogstopper Windows "C:\program files\java\jre6"

Also, anjona, here is a link from Sun for setting up the JDK which might help you out http://java.sun.com/...ll-windows.html
